Australia are predicted to achieve their best medal haul since 2000 at the Olympics . Nielsen’s Gracenote Sports, which supplies statistical analysis for sports leagues around the world, has tipped Australia to win 54 medals in Paris. Gracenet tracks major competitions involving Olympic sports leading up to the Games to come up with its predictions. Australia won 17 gold among 46 medals in Tokyo, but have only topped 50 total medals once before when they won 58 at the Sydney Games.
The next places 11 to 20 are: Canada , Hungary , Brazil , Spain , Poland , Denmark , Turkey , New Zealand , Ukraine , Ethiopia . The US and China finished 1-2 in both categories in 2021 in the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics. The forecast for the Americans on top is no surprise. This would be the eighth consecutive time the US has won the most overall medals at the Summer Games.
